    Combining multiple D20 Systems (or I'm Delerious for D20!)

    Okay so I'm starting a new campaign for a group that has reached higher levels in D&D. I'm looking for a change and want to play something with guns... and lots of them, John Woo style. I've got several options to choose from. Specifically: Spycraft, D20 Modern, D20 Future, Dragonstar, & d20...

    Green Slime & Mage Hand

    Evening all, I was DMing tonight and ran across an interesting situation and wanted your takes on the subject. The party was barred from progressing through a dungeon by a barred door that they were unable to break/destroy. In an earlier room was a patch of green slime. They eventually came up...

    Stupid Author Syndrome

    George R.R. Martin - A Song of Fire & Ice? It's been awhile since I've reread the series, but I do recall being annoyed, very very very annoyed. :)

    printing pdf's vs. books - cost comparison?

    Hmm... let's see, I just bought a laser printer. Over 20,000 pages it works out to something like $0.03 per sheet. Which is a lot of printing.... ;) And since I'm seeing this a lot in this thread: laser printers do not use ink cartridges, they use toner (just like a photocopier). Ink/Bubblejet...

    Hustle + Spring Attack= Problem

    Can hustle be used for a move-equivelent action or just a move? I had a player who kept wanting to use it to regain his focus (in conjunction with that feat that makes it a move-equivelent action instead of a standard)...

    [Nov] What are you reading?

    Just finished Good Omens by Neil Gaimon and Terry Pratchett last night, great read. Prior to that was Dark Tower Book 7 and Stalin: Court of the Red Tsar. Next book will probably be 1421: The Year China Discovered the World.

    D&D 3.x 3.5 Sunder/severing help needed

    This topic leads to a question I've always wondered about.... with no way to dismember an opponent, the only way to lose a limb is DM fiat. So... aside from the DM saying you've lost an arm to that nasty trap you didn't didn't disarm, what is the point of the regeneration spell?

    Is the problem....

    So when I go to edit or post a message during business hours on ENWorld and it takes 5+ minutes, is it a problem with server load or bandwidth? It makes me sad that my favorite site is basically unavailable 8 hours out of the day (and it's not in the 8 hours I sleep).

    quality of recent WotC products

    I think you're reading too much into this. From where I sit it looks like he is talking about the "general" you, and not "specifically" you. Edit: Hmm... rereading that to make sure I'm not making a fool out of myself, I kinda of agree with you about the last line re: glowing recommendation...

    quality of recent WotC products

    That's certainly fair enough. I just wouldn't want to see WotC relying on it for their stat-blocks. (Well I would, but my understanding of it is that it would require a total rewrite in order to make it reliable enough to catch all the small errors creeping into the statblocks).

    quality of recent WotC products

    Maybe they do and that is why there is so many errors :). No offense to anyone at CMP (I say this as someone who recently purchased e-Tools plus all the datasets and uses them for all my stat-blocks) but I've found that e-Tools is pretty buggy by itself. I took a quick look at the statblocks...

    Computer Hardware - Broken power pin question

    Heh, thanks for the replies. To clarify: The broken pin is on a front-panel unit for a Sound Blaster Audigy. The headphone jack wasn't working, so I pulled it out and discovered that ages ago I had broken one of the pins on the card itself. (I believe it's called a Molex connector?). The unit...

    Computer Hardware - Broken power pin question

    Evening all! I've got a really dumb question and my google-fu is (apparently) not up to the task of figuring this out. I've got a broken pin on the power connector of my Audigy I/O drive (Pin 2 -GND). I was planning to unsolder the broken pin and solder a new one in place. Now the question is...

    I killed a Kobold. Killed him dead.

    Hmmm... I didn't think you could critical with Ray of Enfeeblement on account of the fact that it didn't deal damage (it's a penalty not damage), much like you can't critically hit with Bull's Strength.

    Pet Owners: Cat Seizures??

    Couldn't resist a cat post. I would suspect that the 2000 Flushes would be responsible. If your cat no longer seems in distress then I would keep an eye on her but wait till Monday. Generally unless it's really bad (and it should be readily apparent if it is) cat's are much tougher than I ever...

    My mistake then, I'll go back and edit out the last paragraph. My apologies. :o Isn't there a more embarresed looking smilie? ;)

    I can totally relate to this one. Unfortunately I play maybe 3 times and year and DM the rest of it.
